Typology Cam 262?
Description Fingerlin illustrates a small jar (height only 13 cm) with a simple moulded rim from Dangstetten Fundstelle 116 which would bear examination as an example of our type. The ware is described as `blass-rot, hart gebrannt, grobsandig, leichte Glimmermagerung'. Taf.27 clearly shows the unevenly finished surface of the vessel. The series of light horizontal grooves around the lower part of the body are an unusual feature, although they can be compared with those on Oberaden type 101. The rim seems to have only a single internal moulding. Without direct examination it is not possible to be more confident about the classificaton of this vessel. Dangstetten was probably founded in c. 15 BC and abandoned shortly after the death of Drusus, in 9 BC. (Wells 1972, 315-6) This jar may be as early as the example at Oberaden, and perhaps even pre-dates it by a few years.
